Modeling genetic benefits and financial costs of integrating biobanking into the conservation breeding of managed marsupials

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Managed breeding programs are an important tool in marsupial conservation efforts but may be costly and have adverse genetic effects in unavoidably small captive colonies. Biobanking and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) could help overcome these challenges, but further demonstration of their potential is required to improve uptake. We

Bibliometric investigation of the integration of animal personality in conservation contexts

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Consistent individual differences in behavior, commonly termed animal personality, are a widespread phenomenon across taxa that have important consequences for fitness, natural selection, and trophic interactions. Animal personality research may prove useful in several conservation contexts, but which contexts remains to be determined.

A systematic review of snake translocations to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Advancements in the field of reintroduction biology are needed, but understanding of how to effectively conduct translocations, particularly with snakes, is lacking. We conducted a systematic review of snake translocation studies to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects. We included studies on intentional, human‐mediated,

Importance of health assessments for conservation in noncaptive wildlife

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Wildlife health assessments help identify populations at risk of starvation, disease, and decline from anthropogenic impacts on natural habitats. We conducted an overview of available health assessment studies in noncaptive vertebrates and devised a framework to strategically integrate health assessments in population monitoring.

Applying the zoo model to conservation of threatened exceptional plant species

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1416-1425, December 2020., 2020
Abstract Maintaining a living plant collection is the most common method of ex situ conservation for plant species that cannot be seed banked (i.e., exceptional species). Viability of living collections, and their value for future conservation efforts, can be limited without coordinated efforts to track and manage individuals across institutions. Using

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Nutritional and Physiological Markers Are Mediated by Seasonality and Forest Access in Captive Coquerel's Sifakas 圈养科氏冕狐猴 (Coquerel's Sifakas) 的营养和生理指标受季节性和森林通道的影响

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 652-664, December 2025.
We profiled nutritional and physiological markers in captive sifakas, endangered primates from Madagascar, managed in expansive, non‐native forest enclosures. Variation in many markers reflects freely foraged diets and the energy required to maintain homeostasis under more naturalistic conditions.

The Primate Name Yòu (狖) and Its Referents: Implications for the Future Conservation of François' Langurs in China 灵长类动物名称“狖”及其指代对象再钩沉: 对中国黑叶猴 (Trachypithecus francoisi) 未来保护的启迪

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 246-253, June 2025.
After the great Chinese poet Qu Yuan (屈原) was exiled to Xupu (溆浦) county in Hu' nan province, he described the forest there as follows: “mysterious is the deep forest, the place where Yuán yòu dwell (深林杳以冥冥兮,乃猿狖之所居).” What is the referent of the name Yuán yòu in this sentence?

What Friendship Characteristics Are Associated With Well‐Being Among Unpartnered Individuals in the United States?

Personal Relationships, Volume 32, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper replicates and extends prior work that demonstrated the general importance of friendships for maintaining well‐being, with a focus on unpartnered/single individuals. Using data from two quota samples of U.S. adults (Nsingle2022 = 552, Nsingle2023 = 391), we systematically examined how 10 theoretically derived characteristics of ...
